Pacific Opera Project Presents La Calisto

Date: May 15, 2014

To conclude its third full season, Pacific Opera Project will present 6 performances of the Los Angeles Premiere of Francesco Cavalli’s La Calisto written in 1651. POP will return to The Ebell Club of Highland Park for this intimate and dynamic production. Staying true to their “POP-Up” formula of staging and rehearsing the entire opera in just over a week featuring some of the best talent in the country, Pacific Opera Project will have performers singing right at your table as you’re served a bottle of wine and tray of appetizers. POP has added an orchestra with period instruments to the “POP-Up” model for La Calisto and has kept the tickets at the ridiculously low price of less than $30 per person. The whole evening has a party atmosphere as guests enjoy food, wine, and entertainment either from their tables near the stage or from single seats in the venue. POP will put its own spin on this farce about the nymph Calisto and this production will be fraught with the provocative sensuality and humor one would expect of a Greek mythology tryst.
